I wish Tivo would operate Rhapsody like the on-line service. First download the song, play it, then delete it. I think that would solve the 3 to 20 second music studdering problem. I get this through Comcast High Speed Internet hard wired to the Tivo from my router/switch. I think this problem is in the Internet connection & would apply to any broad band connection. It's not Tivo or Rhapsody. The Internet connection will hiccup or lose connection for a second or so sometimes. When you're just surfing on-line, reading, e-mail, or downloading you'll never notice, but if you're streaming music, it studders & becomes annoying after a while. So, I'm back to playing Rhapsody through the on-line Rhapsody software until Tivo can download, play & delete to stop the studdering problem.

Otherwise, the TIVO Rhapsody service is very nice and the graphics, info on the screen are great & easy to see what's on, similar music, what's next screen saver & options are very cool.

Or maybe something can be adjusted on the Tivo to fix this studdering issue?

That happens to me. Sometimes i will be playing a song and it will just stop playing. or it will stop for a second. How much bandwidth does rhapsody use? I haven't tried to use vonage and ahapsody at the same time yet.
